While phones today are getting faster and more responsive, however, they still take forever to charge completely. Even though we have smartphone makers like OnePlus or Oppo with their VOOC-WARP charging, they still take a good 35 to 40 minutes to juice up.?

However, Xiaomi has revealed a battery tech that can charge a 4,000mAh battery from 0 to 100 in just 8 minutes.?
This sounds too good to be true, but it¡¯s actually possible. They¡¯ve implemented a novel 200W wired charging tech on a slightly modified Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro smartphone. To put things into perspective, the OnePlus 9 Pro and some Oppo phones which are considered some of the fastest charging devices in India, maxed out at 65W charging.?
The device sports a 4,000mAh battery that can go from 0 to 10 percent in just 44 seconds. It charges up to 50 percent in just three minutes whereas the phone fully charges by 7:57 minutes.?
The charging tech is not just fast wired, but also wireless. It supports 120W wireless charging that juices up from 0 to 100 percent in just 15 minutes.?
Xiaomi has showcased the charging speeds which it dubbs as ¡®Xiaomi Hyper Charge¡¯ in a YouTube video where you can see a timelapse video of the phones charging instantly.?

Xiaomi has been paying close attention to charging speeds. Last year we saw it implement 80W wireless charging that charged a device to 100 percent in just 19 minutes.?
Well, that¡¯s where things get a little tricky. This was just a concept demonstration and while it was quite successful, chances are we still have to wait for a really long time till this becomes mainstream as usually fast charging speeds translate to more heat generation which isn¡¯t good for the battery's long-term health and leads to battery draining faster than normal.

Xiaomi hasn¡¯t offered any clarity on any new tech that circumvents this issue, so it's safe to say it¡¯s going to be a while till we see this tech in action.
